SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Orchestrates a structured multi-role debate workflow to adjudicate high-stakes research decisions, improving rigor and transparency in decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Debate Protocol: defines Proposer, Skeptic, Counterevidence Miner, Validity Critic, and Judge roles with independent positions, critiques, and adjudication.
  • Configurable Debates: supports multiple debate types (e.g., topic selection, theory choice, method fit, claim adjudication, rival explanations, final revision) and generates a final decision document.
  • Audit Trails & Outputs: saves round-wise transcripts and a final JSON outcome for reproducibility and governance.

Quick Start

Initiate a structured multi-role debate on the provided proposal and debate type to obtain a final adjudicated decision.

FAQPage Schema
How do I adjudicate competing research hypotheses using a structured debate?

To adjudicate competing research hypotheses, this Skill orchestrates a structured multi-role debate with defined roles like Proposer, Skeptic, and Judge. It outputs independent positions, critiques, and a final adjudicated decision for high-stakes choices.

Can I use multi-role debate for theory choice and method fit decisions in social sciences?

Yes, multi-role debate supports theory choice and method fit decisions in arts and social sciences. It applies a configurable debate protocol to evaluate competing proposals and generates a final decision document for research rigor.

What is the best way to ensure transparency when evaluating rival explanations in research?

The best way to ensure transparency when evaluating rival explanations is using a debate workflow that saves round-wise transcripts and a final JSON outcome. This creates audit trails for reproducibility and governance of the adjudication process.

Does multi-role debate require a predefined protocol to adjudicate high-stakes decisions?

Yes, multi-role debate requires a defined debate protocol, named roles, and an accessible workspace to adjudicate high-stakes decisions. These prerequisites ensure the structured workflow produces independent positions and valid critiques.

How do I start a structured debate for final revision claim adjudication?

To start a structured debate for final revision claim adjudication, initiate the workflow with your provided proposal and debate type. The Skill will orchestrate roles like Counterevidence Miner and Validity Critic to obtain a final decision.

When should I not use structured multi-role debate for research decisions?

You should not use structured multi-role debate for low-stakes or straightforward research decisions lacking competing hypotheses. The workflow requires distinct rival proposals or claims to generate meaningful independent positions, critiques, and final adjudication.
